Your personal sphere of play:
The research group “Atmospheric Transport Processes”, led by Prof. Andreas Stohl, is part of the Department of Meteorology and Geophysics. The group develops the Lagrangian transport model FLEXPART and studies all aspects of transport in the atmosphere, ranging from greenhouse gases to pollutants, water vapour and heat, and we use inverse modelling techniques to determine sources of greenhouse gases, radionuclides, or air pollutants. Our future research strategy also includes studies of the higher atmosphere.
To learn more about our team, we invite you to visit our website: https://flexteam.univie.ac.at/. To learn more about FLEXPART, visit https://www.flexpart.eu/.
We seek a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher, who will contribute to the research conducted in our team. While we expect you to work with the FLEXPART model, you can also propose your own research topics. These could be, for instance, theoretical and numerical improvements of FLEXPART, development of new application fields for the model, or novel applications of the model in research fields that we already cover (e.g., analysis of ice core data; transport of heat, water, greenhouse gases, radionuclides or air pollutants in the atmosphere; inverse modelling; Lagrangian re-analyses; transport climatologies).
